FRACTIONAL (STATIC) ELECTRICITY Electricity produced when two bodies are rubbed with each other (due to transfer of electrons). BASIC PROPERTIES OF CHARGES like charges repels each other and unlike charges attracts each other. Conservation of charges-Total charge of an isolated system is always constant. It can be transferred from one body to another. Charges are additive in nature q 1 =5C , q 2 = -10C q = q 1 + q 2 = - 5C Quantization of charges-Charge on a body is integral multiple of electronic charge. [Electric charge-Fundamental particle of charge] Integral multiple means e, 2e, and 3e... Thus q= ±ne, where n=0,1,2,3... NOTE 1e = -1.6 ×10 -19 C 1proton= +1.6 ×10 -19 C 1 particle or He = +3.2 ×10 -19 C Quark's e/3, 2e/3 COULOMBS LAW: It states that force of attraction or repulsion between two charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. ...
